Transport stream (TS) is a standard format specified in MPEG-2 for the transmission and storage of audio, videoand data, and is used in broadcast systems such as DVB and ATSC. It is also a video stream file format for storing video on DVDs. Transport stream specifies a container format encapsulating packetized streams, with error correction and stream synchronization features for maintaining transmission integrity when the signal is degraded.
